The Scratch sensor board, called the PicoBoard, is a micro-
controller that allows you to create Scratch programs that
respond to light, sound, and movement in the real world! The
PicoBoard can do lots of cool stuff like listen for loud noises,
watch for changes in lighting, control your sprites with a sliding
control or a button, measure the resistance between two alligator
clips, and a lot more.
Here’s what a PicoBoard looks like. You can buy your own
PicoBoard at http://www.sparkfun.com/. Your PicoBoard might
be yellow instead of red, but it’ll work in just the same way.
